So I woke up today with Going to get my lappy prepared on the to-do list. It's sad though, when i heard that it's gonna cost a fortune to bring the goddamn screen back to normal, 350S$ to be precise. But there's nothing I can do, except for a huge guilty feeling of not doing earlier back in SG, to save at least half of the fee, as I did once before. If the technician didnt mention about the cleaning steps and show me the date of last preparing service stated on the old screen, around 2 years ago, I could have still wondered how could it be spoiled so fast. Well, that's the advantage of getting professional service anyway, let see if 350$ can endure the test of time.
I used the waiting time for my lappy fix in search of Mom's tonic. Gosh, i must have been to more than 10 stores in China Town just to find that little bottle claimed "guaranteed result" by mom. It's made in Singapore and yet there's no store in here carrying it. How ridiculous. Actually the closest one I found at last was in a Authentic Chinese merchandising, which was hilarious~~ Worse, although the packages looked almost identical, same name, same description, both in Chinese and English, yet they are from two different companies!!! Under the sizzling heat, I couldnt stand anymore but sigh and decided to make a trip to the address from mom's package tomorrow or so, hopefully they havent stopped the line yet.
When I was at China Town, the crowd and a variety of food, which are appealing kinda made me feel like wanna grab something for recharge snack. But again, too many options spoils you. I wondered around, hoping to get some healthy stuff, and eventually stuffed myself with some kebab's relative. Why so? the bread resembled pita bread, while the filling consisted of stewed pork belly, super thin sliced cucumber and parsley (?). The taste was not bad but nothing comes close to extraordinary, just a disappointment and lots of calories T___T
Oh yeah, the weather is more than scotching hot today, and the temperature seemed to raise up whenever i climbed the stairs or hurried to cross the street. That explains why I dont wanna spend any of my precious second under the harmful UV ray that can turn me or anyone of us into an omelette. However, i still managed to come across some interesting scenes that busy and boring people dont usually notice. They are a model of steam-power locomotive in front of a travel agency advertised for Taiwan tourism, blooming cherry blossoms made of transparent plastic that can be lightened up at night, unusual queues lining up at any money changers and so on.
I took my time at the national library since my lappy's not done yet. And right when I was just about to indulge myself in that little colorful Cleo magazine, my phone rang like an ambulance. So i flipped through pages and put the rest down, managed to find some waist exercises and other interesting news, will try them out at other time.
After my lappy already lied happily in my bag, i was hungry again that the swimming session had to be postpone to the next morning. A sudden crave for avocado salad from the MOF nearby AMK led me home. There was this girl who caught all my attention to her flawless porcelain skin. She didnt use make-up at all, according to my observation, yet her natural complexion shone through those terrible panda eyes. I had to fight with the urge to ask for her beauty secret, lucky my behaviour was under control so i let her go just like a beauty anonymous.
The avocado salad was like a tank of ice water thrown to my face. The serving was pathetically small, 180 degree from the illustration on the menu. There was hardly any avocado at all, and i felt like being deluded. I finished it, mind you, plus an ice-matcha, just for the sake of health i promised, not the taste =__=
Otherwise, i had some interesting conclusions from the observation of the customers in here, while waiting for my food. There were three couples at the cafe. In two cases, the guys went to send the orders and made payment. I found them a bit silly, who dropped wallet on the floor or felt powerless to the higher authorities sitting at the table, either staring at the menu or iphones, yet gentle and cute. With the only girl who happened to settle the bill at the counter from the third couple, when her boyfriend was busy checking his DSLR, somehow i have a sympathy for her, to have a careless boyfriend. My subjective perspective says that guys should be dealing with bills and orderings, after consider girlfriend's opinions.
